Normal Washer Sounds
Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn’t. Because
the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be concerned about
them. These sounds are normal.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your washer has a
lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from the upper
part of the agitator.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on your
installation), you may hear air being pulled through the pump
during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you may hear
gears engaging.
Starting Your Washer
1.
Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Add extra detergent for
the Extra Wash cycle.
Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
■
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items.
■
Items should move easily through the wash water.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
■
To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some
synthetic knits, select a water level setting to provide
more space (see step 5).
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are
dampened with gasoline or other flammable
fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not use an adapter.
